Don’t be afraid to brush out dem curls, babe! 🌟⠀⠀So often when I’m styling I’ll hear people say “ I can never get my hair as smooth as you do” OR “my curls never hold. I’d be so afraid to brush them out!”⠀⠀Let me break it down for ya’ll : ⠀⠀🌟 Any curled style should have some texture product in the blow dry to help give your hair some MEMORY. Like, literally the texture (commonly volumizing products) helps your hair REMEMBER where you put it.⠀⠀If you’re not blow drying first, that could be a big reason your curls don’t last. They don’t have the foundation they need.⠀⠀🌟 Therefore, if you heat style properly for your hair type, and set with a holding spray brushing your curls out only softens them. It shouldn’t deflate them entirely!⠀⠀⚠️ Pro tip: be sure to let those curls cool all the way down (yes in those ugly Shirley temple ringlets 😂) for at least a couple minutes before you brush them out.⠀⠀Cheers to all your soft beach waves in this muggy muggy summer we’re having in the PNW 💁🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀
